About Giddings Gifts

We're pretty much all about dogs! We are Helen and Chris Giddings - a husband and wife team from Oxfordshire who originally set up Giddings Gifts in June 2016 as a side hustle to our full time jobs. Taking our love for our two dogs as inspiration, we focussed on creating pet accessories that enhance human to dog relationships and provide a way to involve dogs in special occasions. A collection of bandanas for dogs to wear to weddings was born. It soon became clear that it was much more than just a creative outlet and in December 2016 Helen left her job as a detective constable with Thames Valley Police to give Giddings Gifts her full attention. Today, our range has expanded to include dog themed cards and gifts for humans, as well as seasonal bandanas and a collection of harnesses, leads and collars for dogs. Chris now designs and illustrates with us full time and Helen continues to sew beautiful items for beloved pets. Together, we use our passion for dogs and creativity to bring cool and contemporary gifts for fellow dog lovers to life.Read their story
